  [aquette] Implement support for UPS testing in Checkbox using NUT: TODO
  
  Remaining questions:
  - is Augeas support sufficient for configuration, or does it need a more advanced wrapper?
  - related to the above, is a configuration library / tool needed?
  - @zulcss: does Nagios nut plug-in offer sufficient features for your purpose?
  
  == Items to consider ==
- 1. Create power consumption reports (not ready for billing, only informative)
- 2. Asset management support for power devices. Ie, Provide device information like manufacturer name and model, serial number, location, contact, service dates, ...
